Lee Clark has revealed Kris Boyd delivered an emotional speech to the Kilmarnock squad following the death of his younger brother.

Scott Boyd, 27, was found dead at his home in the Ayrshire village of Auchinleck on Wednesday.

Manager Clark expressed his condolences to Boyd and his family following the tragedy and says he will let the striker make his own decision over featuring against Dundee on Saturday.

"It has been tough for the football club since we learned the news on Wednesday morning," he told Press Association Sport.

"Our supporters, the board and everyone connected with the football club send their deepest condolences to Kris and his family.

"I addressed the players on Wednesday and Kris came in today and addressed the players.

"It was emotional for everybody. It was emotional for me, the staff, for the players because we are very close.

"It was a delivery of a speech from a very strong character, a very experienced man.

"Him and his family have had an horrendous few days and it was very emotional but it shows me that the group has a tremendous togetherness and we will stay strong for him.

"Whatever Kris needs, we will support. We will be there every step of the way, whatever is needed.

"I have been speaking to Kris since the horrendous news and it will be left up to him, it is his decision, whether playing or training. I will be guided by him.

"The best tribute to Kris, his family and his late brother, that we can go there (Dundee), put on a performance and get the win."
